[Kariya comes along easily, and Kiritsugu feels a bit relieved himself as he takes a seat. Sometimes he wants nothing more than to rest and never move again. He'll keep moving, though, as long as he's still alive.
It's not an unexpected question, considering that he already knows where Kariya's from. He watches Kariya as Kariya studies his face, confident he won't be recognized. He seriously considers lying. He's an excellent liar, but he doesn't feel like deceiving this man. Why should he? What purpose would it serve? Kariya's been so poorly done by already, he could probably use some honesty. Kiritsugu might lie to spare his feelings or avoid upsetting him, but aside from those concerns, he doesn't feel right being other than honest with him.
It's mainly the thought that he could upset him that makes him hesitate, but he keeps his voice calm, his expression friendly.]
Well, Fuyuki's a big city, with a lot of people... [He pauses.] But, yes. I know who you are.

Don't worry, we're not enemies.
[Not anymore.]
I used to be a magus.
